More quotes by Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Slaves lose everything in their chains, even the desire of escaping from them.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Two things, almost incompatible, are united in me in a manner which I am unable to understand: a very ardent temperament, lively and tumultuous passions, and, at the same time, slowly developed and confused ideas, which never present themselves until it is too late. One might say that my heart and my mind do not belong to the same person.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It is as if my heart and my brain did not belong to the same person. Feelings come quicker than lightning and fill my soul, but they bring me no illumination they burn me and dazzle me.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Equality, because without it there can be no liberty.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
He who pretends to look upon death without fear, lies
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Women, in general, are not attracted to art at all, nor knowledge, and not at all to genius.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Remorse goes to sleep during a prosperous period and wakes up in adversity. [Fr., Le remords s'endort durant un destin prospere et s'aigrit dans l'adversite.]
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Luxury either comes of riches or makes them necessary it corrupts at once rich and poor, the rich by possession and the poor by covetousness.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
O love, if I regret the age when one savors you, it is not for the hour of pleasure, but for the one that follows it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Men will argue more philosophically about the human heart but women will read the heart of man better than they.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man, to surrender the rights of humanity and even its duties.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
We do not know either unalloyed happiness or unmitigated misfortune. Everything in this world is a tangled yarn we taste nothing in its purity we do not remain two moments in the same state. Our affections as well as bodies, are in a perpetual flux.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Money is the seed of money.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
To be sane in a world of madman is in itself madness.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I think we cannot too strongly attack superstition, which is the disturber of society nor too highly respect genuine religion, which is the support of it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
In a well governed state, there are few punishments, not because there are many pardons, but because criminals are rare it is when a state is in decay that the multitude of crimes is a gaurantee of impunity.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
The freedom of Mankind does not lie in the fact that can do what we want, but that we do not have to do that which we do not want.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
For it is in our nature to endure patiently the decrees of fate, but not the ill-will of others.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
